Rocco Forte Hotels will open a third hotel in Sicily in 2026.
Located in Noto, the 31-room Palazzo Castelluccio will occupy an 18th-century palazzo. The hotel will retain many of the building's historic elements, with the final product showcasing "inherited charm and contemporary luxury," said Olga Polizzi, Rocco Forte's deputy chair and director of design.
The hotel will have a restaurant, bar, garden lounge, spa, gym and meeting and event space. Guestrooms will feature trompe l'oeil walls and antique furnishings.
Palazzo Castelluccio will join Villa Igiea and Verdura Resort in Rocco Forte's Sicily portfolio.
In addition to expanding in Sicily, Rocco Forte has plans for more Italy hotels in Milan, Sardinia and Naples over the next three years.
